State Transformation and Human Development

This Report argues that representation can become a catalyst for creating a society that offers greater equality and justice to all in a number of spheres. And a significant change in political representation demands active, equitable involvement of those now excluded from the processes of framing and implementing policy. This calls first and foremost for opening state structures to participation by groups that have never before engaged in governance. It means transforming the State and Nepal...

A Climate for Change
Climate change and its impacts on society and economy in Croatia

This publication is a breakthrough report for the country and the first of its kind, globally following new analysis released by the IPCC.

Youth in Cyprus
Aspirations, Lifestyles & Empowerment

This first Human Development Report for Cyprus focuses on the lives and aspirations of the island’s young people1. The Report is unique as it is the first time that aspects of the life of youth in both the Greek-Cypriot and Turkish-Cypriot communities have been mapped out in tandem. This is significant given the long existing division between the two communities that has resulted in young Cypriots growing up apart from one another.

Montenegro: Society for All

Montenegro has achieved impressive economic growth in recent years, which has created opportunities and brought about some progress in the human development of the poor and socially excluded. However, there is still much to be done, as 11% of the population continues to live below the poverty line and many individuals are, or risk being, socially excluded. How can social exclusion be transformed into social inclusion; how can human development be achieved for all, ensuring that the vulnerable...

La Manera de hacer las Cosas

En Chile resulta cotidiano observar denuncias en los medios de comunicación relativas a casos donde se hacen mal las cosas: Casos de violencia contra las mujeres y maltrato infantil, en el ámbito de lo privado; casos de fiscalizaciones burladas, mala calidad de servicio o el uso de información privilegiada en las empresas; casos de errores inexcusables en la gestión de los servicios públicos, entre muchos otros ejemplos. La denuncia de las cosas mal hechas e...

Capacidades institucionales para el desarrollo humano local

El análisis muestra que Jalisco es un estado con nivel de desarrollo humano alto que, sin embargo, también presenta una desigualdad importante, no sólo entre individuos y regiones, sino entre capacidades institucionales de los gobiernos municipales. Así, la entidad enfrenta el reto de reducir, y eventualmente de cerrar, las brechas de desigualdad socioeconómica e institucional con el fin de alcanzar un desarrollo más equilibrado, descentralizado y sus...
